Behold the thousand yard stare of a man who's finally gotten comfortable with taking it in the ass repeatedly.

The journalism pep talk at the end with all the corporate paraphernalia meticulously arrayed around him is particularly delicious i thought.

How much does a human soul cost? ask mr keighley.

Dude all you had to do was post the picture with that thread title.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Possibly the most :patriot:photo I've seen for a while.

 

[Excidium]

Halo 4 confirmed for GOTY.

 

[taxalot]

I will not watch the video because the picture already made me gain too much fat.

 

[Telengard]

He actually shilled for the Dew XP Halo program, and did it on top of a long mention of Halo 4. Yeesh. You might as well just call it an informercial.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

One has to wonder why the industry is trying to poison its client base.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Fatties stay on the couch, playing games. These things also don't kill you until you're like 40, and by then you'll be probably trying to save your kids from suffering your fate by refusing to buy games for them. Masterful plan.

I want to brofist but Doritos taste so gooooooooood.

I was eating Doritos and drinking Mtn Dew when I opened this thread

EDIT: Also, that dude needs to be an emote.

It really is shorthand for games journalism and should be treated as such.

Adblock is truly a gift from the heavens.

I want to brofist but Doritos taste so gooooooooood.

I enjoy a lot of things that are bad for me, but out of all the chips I'd want to eat, Doritos are off the list entirely. It's generally a good practice to stay away from anything that leaves behind colored dust.

 

[DalekFlay]

Just as influencing as being beholden to advertisers is the desire to assist with hype because hype drives hits. Of the two Diablo pics above I find "It's Finally Here!" to be the worst part of it. You could give the game a damn 2 in the review but that front-page hype just sold 10,000 copies to people desperate to fit-in.

 

[Jick Magger]

"Turning him over one saw that he could not have suffered long; his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come."

 

[Don Peste]

Games Judaism.

 

[Dexter]

"Are Video Games Art"? xD

Games journalist is a non-word.

Think about it, it doesn't make sense, this is newspeak. What exactly are they 'investigating'?

Publishers' rectums.
Sans vaseline.

 

[Achilles]

Halo 4 confirmed for GOTY.

I can't wait for the first 11/10 score.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Geoff Keighley is the biggest fucking clown on the face of the earth. He's only in here for the money, celebrities and e-fame and doesn't even have the decency to try and hide it. What a tool.

Wouldn't it make more sense to say the length of their colon via publisher cock? Publishers certainly are not taking it up the ass from gaming journalists even when both are dying slowly.

Brown-nosing, man.
